We don’t believe there are kids who ‘aren’t built’ for school.
We believe there are schools that aren’t built for kids.
At Muskoka Highlands Academy we carefully craft a learning environment for students that nurtures their interests, need to belong, and ability to think outside the box.
Our Learning Model
-
OUTDOOR
At both of our campuses, we are surrounded by the greatest classroom in the world- our environment. At MHA, we want to get outside to not only help foster environmental stewardship but also to leverage nature as a learning tool to unlock different parts of our brains.
-
ACADEMICS
We are preparing our students for the future, so we use the Ontario curriculum as a framework for our learning. We are committed to enhancing and extending this curriculum based on student and staff passions and interests.
-
COMMUNITY
Arts education is foundational in preparing kids to be successful, happy people. We believe strongly that the arts teach innovation, problem solving and creativity. Our community is rich with people who have a diverse knowledge base and levels of expertise and we are using this resource to deliver an enriched arts program.
-
PASSION
Being open to trying new things is a critical muscle for successful adults. We design our days so that we can present students with unique opportunities to try new things on a regular basis. This allows kids to pursue their present interests and discover new passions while helping our team understand our students and energize further learning opportunities.
